If the Portugal and Spain hadn't been united under Philip what would the Dutch have taken over instead of the Portguese colonies.
Could we see Dutch Philipines?
Would the Dutch even have expanded? I have heard it suggested that the Portuguese cutting the salt export to Netherlands was the major reason for the Dutch colonial drive.
